Lucky Catch
by Deborah Coonts
Trouble always comes in threes. At least that's what Lucky O'Toole, the VP of Customer Relations for Las Vegas' primo Strip casino/hotel, the Babylon, has heard for years from her mother. So, tonight, when Teddie, her former lover, shows up at her office unannounced and very unexpected, her father offers Teddie a job at the Babylon, she is called to deal with a pig in residence at one of the hotels most exclusive and opulent suites, and Lucky's current lover, Jean-Charles Bouclet stops answering his phone leaving Lucky to handle his five-year-old son, Lucky figures she has tonight's compliment of chaos covered. As usual, she is a tad optimistic. With a cadre of celebrity chefs with the maturity of teenagers in Vegas for a televised cook-off, a prized Alba truffle in the Babylon's care, and her mother's pregnancy racing toward the inevitable, what could go wrong?
